In addition to purely utility functions, paracord can be used to fashion knotted or braided bracelets, lanyards, belts, and other decorative items. 550 Cord is used by many US military members as a bracelet signifying deployment to the Central Command Area of Responsibility, typically countries in the Middle East.

It is also worn in remembrance of POW/MIA service members during National conflict. It is fashioned by using three equal lengths of cord and weaving them together to make a bracelet that is then secured with a looped end and a button from the Desert Camouflage Uniform. The bracelet is commonly seen among those serving in the Middle East.

ParacordKeychains.com owner Jennifer Seymour says orders are coming in at a steady rate and they hope it stays the way it has been since their other online sites are loosing profits since Obama has been in office.

"Since Obama has been in office our income has been on a decline and we have lost over 70% of our income over the last couple years" says Jennifer Seymour.

We make different things out of Paracord such as Key Chains, Wrist and Neck Lanyards, Survival Bracelets and Monkey Fist and use the Square Braid, Snake Braid, Rattlesnake Braid, Ladder Knot, Turks Hear Knot and many more. Its amazing just how many different things that can be made out of Paracord.

With that type of lost income Jennifer said she has to come up with different ways to make money and using 550 Paracord is yet another way to generate income.
